General Notes: Husband - William Boyd

---

Three men named "Boyd"' came together to America from Ireland in 1729, and, with their families, settled on Marsh Creek, in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania. These men were Thomas Boyd, William Boyd and John Boyd. It is presumed that Thomas and William were brothers, and that John was a son of William.

He was a blacksmith and farmer.

He immigrated to the United States landing at New Castle, Delaware, Aug. 24, 1729.

General Notes: Wife - Margaret [Unk]

---

She may have been a McClean, a McCarley, or a McPherson, as all of these families seem closely allied to William Boyd's family.
